The weakness of the Purple-Gold Giant Dragon was its low magic defense. However, as a Level-12 Giant Dragon, even a Level-10 Spell would not be able to harm it.
Salin flipped onto the water's surface and looked to the west, where Alchemy City was located. Alchemy City already knew that the Devil's Horn had been attacked, and they probably already knew the outcome of the battle.
This was not a good thing. He had already sealed off the nearby space with his domain, but the news had still spread.
The Violet Gold Dragon flew out of the sea, and the Ironblood Grand Duke threw the Crystal Sea Snake's Bone Skin Magic Core to Salin, who casually put it away. The Crystal Sea Snake was indeed a rare species. Its transparent skin had astonishing defensive capabilities. If he had used magic instead of lightning or icicles, perhaps even a 10th-tier spell wouldn't have been able to break through its defenses.
The Assassin's death was mostly due to the Crystal Sea Serpent dying before it could do anything.
"What happened?" The Ironblood Grand Duke did not immediately return to the Devil's Horn island. Instead, he let the Purple Gold Dragon hover beside Salin, and they looked in the direction of Alchemy City together.
"I see flying warships. Alchemy City's reaction is really fast."
The Devil's Horn had been annexed by the Elemental Hand, and the Flying Battleship had also belonged to the Elemental Hand. If the Flying Battleship was still there, the Desolate Warship would have to spend a lot of effort to destroy the port. The Devil's Horn would not have been caught off guard and allowed Yun Liu's people to attack land so easily. If they were unable to land and could only rely on the level-10 powerhouse to fight, Salin estimated that he and the Duke would be delayed on the island for at least a few days.
Now, nearly a hundred large puppets were carrying magic cannons and destroying the Predators on the island.
"They're too late!" The Ironblood Duke raised his spear and charged forward. With the Purple-Gold Giant Dragon, he wasn't afraid of any flying battleships.
"Let's go back. The flying warship can contact Alchemy City at any time. Don't let them know about your giant dragon for now." Salin released a cloud and enveloped the purple-gold dragon. The Iron Blood Grand Duke felt that it made sense. He had killed his way into Alchemy City before summoning the dragon. The effect would naturally be different.
He sent the Purple Gold Giant Dragon back to the Summoning Space and flew back to the island with Salin's ice arrow. There were only three ten-story Magic Towers left on the island. Although there was resistance everywhere, it was no longer a threat to the Ironblood Duke's army.
The magic arrays that covered the island had basically been destroyed by the bombardment of the large puppets' magic cannons. Without the help of a magic array, Low Rank Mages wouldn't be able to display their power. Only 7th Rank High Mages or above would have the power to fight.
The Ironblood Grand Duke's army was too terrifying. The Ironblood Warriors were second only to the Gold Sword Saints.
The dragon skeleton warship was summoned. Hearing Salin's call, the Wing Skeleton also put away the Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship and hurried back. The Dragon Skeleton Warship spread its wings and chased after the flying warships of Alchemy City.
Dozens of powerful spells flew over. The Magicians on the Dragon Skeleton Warship released six hundred Wind Shields in an orderly manner, completely sealing off the opponent's spells. The magic net that had been set up on the Dragonskeleton Battleship was of great use at this moment. The Ironblood Duke also envied the Weave, but he lacked a Controller unless he could summon demons.
Just like how Salin envied his ability to summon dragons, the Duke envied Salin's magic net. By doing this, Salin could have most of his Mages stay in Metatlin and work in the alchemy factory while cultivating magic. As for the matters of battle, he could let the Necromancers take the lead, while the Mages took turns to be transferred from Metatlin City. Not only did this ensure the alchemy factory's work, but it also prevented Salin from losing his ability to fight.
Under the magic net, the combat ability of the Necromancers wasn't much weaker than that of the Mages. Sometimes, they were even much stronger. That was because the magic net could input targeted spells before a special battle broke out. The Necromancers only needed to sharpen their weapons at the last moment to greatly influence the outcome of the battle.
For example, this Wind Shield seemed like a relatively weak spell, but it was extremely fast. However, six hundred Necromancers could simultaneously activate the Wind Shield with the magic net. The defensive ability of the Wind Shield was increased by a few hundred times.
The attacks of the flying warship were sharp, but they were blocked by this spell. The speed of the flying warship immediately slowed down.
The flying warship couldn't be compared to the Dragonskeleton Battleship. It didn't have the magic net, so it naturally couldn't carry six hundred Mages. They were at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, and they couldn't rely on the warship's performance. Those Mages weren't stupid. As soon as the Dragonskeleton Battleship appeared in their sight, everyone knew that things were going to be difficult.
On the Dragonskeleton Battleship, the one in charge was the Wing Skeleton Battleship. Both sides attacked each other from a distance of three miles. Neither side had any effect, but the distance had been greatly reduced. On the flying warship, a dozen figures flew up. They were the Gold Sword Saints and Silver Sword Saints. The red-robed Mage in the middle was rather young.
At the front of the Dragonskeleton Battleship, on both sides of the dragon's head, twelve large pieces of magical equipment protruded from the movable metal door. They were twelve large Huojinna's Spears.
The Huojinna's Spears were delicate because hundreds of parts had to be installed in a narrow space. These large Huojinna's Spears were weaker than magic cannons, but they were more powerful than alchemy crossbows.
After becoming large pieces of equipment, the firing speed of the Huojinna's Spears didn't change, but they rarely needed to be repaired. Twelve large icicles were shot out. They relied on speed to win. Not to mention that these were magic icicles, even a rock shot out at this speed would be very destructive.
Ten of the eighteen enemies were Silver Sword Saints. These Silver Sword Saints were covered in magic armor, and with the help of the armor, their combat ability was close to that of ordinary level-nine Warriors.
However, the flight of the magic armor was not enough for combat. Four of the twelve large icicles hit the Silver Sword Saints, smashing them into meat patties together with their armor.
Blood spurted out from the gaps in the armor. Only fourteen of the eighteen were left. Everyone's expression changed. The Gold Sword Saints were also relying on their perception to dodge. If they had dodged after seeing the trajectory of the icicles, these Gold Sword Saints couldn't guarantee that they would be able to dodge.
Leveling up didn't mean that one's combat ability would immediately reach the peak. For example, if Su advanced to True Martial now, he would definitely not be a match for Zola.
The ability to control one's own level required a process. This process could be long or short. Some people needed more than a decade to master the skills of the Gold Sword Saints, but it only took Zola more than a year to stabilize his level.
On the Dragonskeleton Battleship, area-of-effect spells were suddenly released. Tens of thousands of Wind Blades locked onto the fourteen targets. Each Manipulator released dozens of Wind Blades. Six hundred Manipulators meant tens of thousands of Wind Blades. These Wind Blades might not be of high levels, but the lethality of low-level spells was no different from that of high-level spells.
Icicles could also penetrate metal. Level-Ten Ice Crystal could also penetrate metal. As long as one couldn't defend against it, spells of any level could kill.
Moreover, these Wind Blades were level-seven and wouldn't dissipate for a long time.
The red-robed mage immediately released the power of his domain. Within the domain, a layer of blue ice crystals appeared on his red robe, firmly protecting him.
This made it difficult for the other martialists. The Gold Sword Saints were still fine. They could even use their longswords to disperse the Wind Blades. The Silver Sword Saints weren't so lucky. The remaining six Silver Sword Saints were cut up by the Wind Blades in the blink of an eye. This time, because there were too many Wind Blades, the elemental power caused the blood to evaporate. The entire area attacked by the Wind Blades turned pale red.
The level-seven Wind Blades quickly dissipated in the domain of the red-robed mage. Occasionally, some of them would retain their shape and cut the blue ice crystal armor of the red-robed mage, but they would also shatter with a bang.
In the blink of an eye, the attack of the Dragonskeleton Battleship killed 18 people, leaving only eight.
Four Gold Sword Saints, five 9th Rank Magic Shooters, and one red-robed mage. The expression of the red-robed mage changed drastically. He understood that the Devil's Horn wasn't facing an ordinary attack this time. It was a disaster. If he continued forward, he might not be able to escape the fate of being killed.
The red-robed mage shouted in a low voice. The Magic Shooters and the Gold Sword Saints followed him and flew back. The Dragonskeleton Battleship charged forward relentlessly. Naturally, the Winged Skeleton wasn't afraid of these people. It had already obtained a strong vitality. Cain's transformation was different from what Salin had said. The Winged Skeleton's body was still a skeleton, but it had all kinds of energy circulating in its body like a human.
The golden heart provided power for all of this, turning the Winged Skeleton into an existence between the undead and human. It could already cultivate sword aura, and could even cultivate True Martial skills like a human.
With necromancy magic, it could use True Martial level sword aura, and it could even refine sword spirits.
The large Huojinna's Spear continued to shoot, sealing the remaining eight targets in a certain area. The 600 Manipulators made their next round of attacks, but it was an overwhelming fireball spell.
These were pure level-nine spells. 600 level-nine spells consumed tens of thousands of magic cores. Although they were all mid-level magic cores, only Salin was willing to use them like this. The magic net consumed the magic cores very quickly in battle. Even if others spent money to build a magic net, they wouldn't be able to afford it.
In comparison, the Huojinna's Spear and even the Thunder Dragon's Spear consumed much less. It was just that these two types of equipment had very high requirements for use, and the materials were ridiculously expensive. As for the magic net, anyone with strong mental strength could train to become a Manipulator. The consumption was also done by using a magic furnace, and throwing in mid-level magic cores would satisfy all the requirements.
Bang!
Bang bang … Bang …
The sound of the fireball exploding was deafening. The entire flying battleship in the distance was within the fireball's attack range. The flying battleship spread its wings and soared into the sky. Powerful elemental waves erupted from the body of the ship, and a huge shadow appeared in front of the flying battleship. It looked like a metal angel.
The bombardment of 600 spells caused the temperature of the entire area to rise to an unbearable level for humans. A large amount of steam formed on the surface of the seawater. This steam was rapidly decomposed and started to burn again.
The burning lasted less than half a second before another violent explosion occurred.
